I'm an experienced culinary instructor and a passionate expert in Southeast Asian cuisine. My knowledge is based on my family's recipes that I love to share. The classes go beyond the typical cooking experience, aiming to give you confidence and independence in the kitchen. You'll learn ingredient basics, flavor balancing and taste bud mapping.
